Inquiry scan and bluetooth stack

I'm trying to do something with this HCI module I got, which uses a CSR Bluecore6 chip. I'm very new to this, so I'd just want to make it perform inquiry scan only (i.e. make it discoverable). To do that, do I need to imple开发者_StackOverflow社区ment a bluetooth stack or do CSR chips already support that? The datasheet of the module isn't very helpful. Since it's a HCI module only, do I need to implement it inside an external MCU or within the chip?

Any other advise on what to expect will be much appreciated!

Thanks

If it is an HCI module then it will only support the standard bluetooth HCI interface and you must provide a stack on your MCU. CSR also provide a stack implementation (http://www.csr.com/products/19/csr-synergy) for most embedded devices.

you don't need a full stack just to perform inquiry / page scan, you can try to connect the module via its HCI interface to a PC or external MCU and send HCI commands to setup the scans, there are few PC tools lie the hciconfig tool on Linux
